window reg rollers

have new rollers for my regulators. what do you use to install the rivets? is their a tool for this, or a just a hammer? they are hollow on the end that gets peen-------did a search but found nothing about the rivets.

for the metal pieces the rollers go on :

ya drill the old ones out, put the new metal pieces in, with the rollers in the correct direction, so that they will slide into the guide.

ya take a ball peen hammer and start tapping on it, bending the metal, they call this 'peening'. The metal will bend and mushroom. So, whack it a few times and check it, as long as it is snug and doesn't come off and turns freely, you are good.

my new pin's for the nylon roller is bigger than the old hole when the old one is removed. do i drill out the hole for the new rivet then peen just enough to tighten? or do i have the wrong kit? rollers are the right size though. if i just butt the rivet up to the hole the roller has about 1/16 play and maybe not enough to peen. bought the kit off e-bay, so who knows.
